Slide 1 - Tekstslide

PHYSICAL WEATHERING

Slide 2 - Tekstslide

What are the major physical weathering processes?

Slide 3 - Open vraag

Physical Weathering
  • Insolation Weathering
  • Freeze-Thaw Weathering
  • Wetting and Drying
  • Salt Chrystallization
  • Pressure Release

Slide 4 - Tekstslide

Insolation Weathering
Exfoliation

Slide 5 - Tekstslide

FROST ACTION
BLOCK DISINTIGRATION

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

Salt Christallization
Granular/Block Disintigration

Slide 7 - Tekstslide

Wetting and Drying
Common in areas experiencing a wet and dry season. 
High variation in moistue contributes to rapid disintigration.
The absorbtion of water creates no chemical change in rocks.
